Sparked by the NC legislative session of 2013, the NAACP of North Carolina sent out a call to the HKonJ coalition to gather in Raleigh to proclaim a more loving vision for our state. Called Moral Mondays, these weekly assemblies were part celebration and part protest. Inspired by speeches and chants, the crowd stood in witness to the General Assembly. Some among those gathered chose to risk arrest as they took their message to their legislators in the building.
